That might be a better way to go. I just don't know enough about GUI systems other than MFC to be able to envision what a scheme like that would look like or if it would succeed. You might save a lot of work coming up with a single low-level representation scheme, but it might become too complex. It's probably worth a try. In the worst case, I feel confident that we can make my brute-force approach work. > > If we do something like this, then our library will > support Rainer Deyke's requirements (see his post in > this thread). I'll see if I can find it. Brock _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
